The Bravo signing is a total fuck up and there's no getting around that. What is also pertinent is that, while the Bundesliga is a similar place to England, it completely lacks the propensity for things to go wildly tits up at a moments notice. Even the finest players in the league aren't immune when a random Northern Irish radgepacket decides to have the game of his life and leave your 35 million pound left back lying in a twisted heap. Or when three West Brom players go flying up for the same header and it miraculously pinballs in the net. Or when an opposition striker manages to instigate a pitch wide brawl that gets 4 people sent off. What he can control is not playing a knackered, slow Kolarov at centre half in successive weeks as Hazard and Vardy dawdle past him and condemn you to consecutive defeats. That's not implementing a philosophy, that's just being backward

I predict Burton to work their bollocks off like it's the last game of football they'll ever play and for us to calmly win 2-0. Just like every other parcel of arseholes do while rolling over for Brighton

Looks like I need to up my #presence on here in 2017

If our squad needs a drastic overhaul, I'd hate to see the clip of their lot when half of their squad is shit loanees and the other half are shit kids. And they don't have a Rafa Benitez overseeing it

Finally, some common sense

Emerson, Wake and Palmer

Have the Mackems considered the idea of someone in the top half swooping in for Defoe in January? That'd be fun to watch

Come to The Bodega and buy me a pint. Also not ashamed to admit we ended up in a private karaoke room after Bournemouth of all teams took us apart at home last season. Don't drink is my advice

All my exes live in Hexham That's why I hang my hat in Pity Me

Good, stamp out all forced remembrance shite

We're having one this year in a desperate attempt to improve work place morale and I can't wait to turn up pissed after being at the match and watching it awkwardly unfold

He clenches some kind of funnel between his cheeks and you pour it through. Apparently

Not having Perez looking better in a league where his lack of pace might get shown up even more tbh

I will say that Perez grafted on Sunday though hardly anything he tried with Gayle came off. A heady improvement on Wolves at home when he was giving up half way into sprints because things weren't going his way. He's still nowhere near as good as people think he is like

This bloke is absolutely ripping the piss out of this league. The clear difference in the standard of coaching between us and everyone else, man

Very happy to confirm that the state of your teeth has absolutely fuck all to do with making your feet do goals

If Leeds wanted to beat us so badly, they shouldn't have been shit

His teeth look alright in the photos of him training yesterday, mind. But were they taken yesterday? Were they photoshopped???? [/wolfy]

Real men are listening to the Terrace Martin album to prove we're not racist

How long ago was that photoshop thread? Poor Rayvin has missed all the goods

keeping your cards in a metallic cigarette case

You can also pay to fast track your way into a pro refereeing career which also explains the blind, unfit, fuckwits that take up the entire football league

Alex, how do you make absinthe? I quite fancy forgetting the Sheffield Wednesday game if we get beat

I have a Christmas Jumper because you can talk to thick lasses about it and after all, Christmas is about emptying sacks
